View all cards mentioned in this episodeAndy and Anthony talk about Andy’s latest Cube design concept. Inspired by The Ball Pit among other projects, Andy’s goal is to design a desert cube where players play all but 5 cards from their pool. In other words, after the draft, player simply “Take Five” cards out of their pool and get shuffling. Andy’s goal is to push players even harder to make something out of the cards they draft even if they don’t obviously stand well on their own. Our hosts talk about the design process, challenges they anticipate, and potential solutions to this draft structure.Discussed in this episode:Take Five Song Recorded by the Dave Brubeck QuartetTake Five Andy’s Emerging Cube IdeaThe Ball Pit100 OrnithoptersAndy’s Take Five Brainstorming Videos on YouTubeGoblin Game, mono-Red No-Deckbuilding Cube by ArloPack One Slick Ones - Episode #20 including Arlo’s Explanation of Goblin GameDegenerate Micro CubeSacred GeometryBun Magic CubeIf you’d like to show your support for the show, please consider backing Lucky Paper on Patreon or leaving us a review on iTunes or wherever you listen.Check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.You can find the hosts’ Cubes on Cube Cobra:Andy’s “Bun Magic” CubeAnthony’s “Regular” CubeYou can find both your hosts in the MTG Cube Talk Discord.
